Childless Mother

In my arms they laid him down

He was so precious it was impossible to frown

Looking at him felt so complete

It was time for him to eat

My heart overwhelmed with love for my child

I had to gaze at him for a while

A good mother I was, or so I believed

I thought I would be since he was conceived

Just one thing; I couldn't provide

I had no funds to ensure he thrived

With me, would he survive?

He was taken from me when he was so young

my heart was shattered

I cried 'til I was numb

Everyday I screamed and cried

My broken heart I could not hide

I am pleased to see he grew up fine

He didn't need me, but he was meant to be mine

I missed him so much over the years

All I have left are my tears
